New Rules, New Goals
The organization hopes to spon­sor
events that will keep stu­dents
on campus.
Student Programs already has a
few projects underway. It would
like to make the Spring Fair a
much more elaborate event than
it has been in the past — more
on the level of Maryland Day.
The organization would involve
the outside community and fea­ture
more cultural ^and educa­tional
events and exhibits and a
better variety of foods and more
entertainment as well.
Another project with which
Bill is involved, though it is 'not
an “event,” is the renovation of
Charles Hall. The vacancy left
by the old book store has pro­vided
room which will allow
several possibilities for improve­ment.
The idea is 'to turn the
Student Union into a “student
union” as opposed to the Lus­kin’s
warehouse that it appears
to be now. As it is, there is no
true campus center — no focal
point which serves as a campus
“living room.” Student Programs
hopes to arrange for a more
inviting lounge downstairs that
will serve this purpose, which
for one, will give off-campus
students a campus base. Addi­tional
possibilities for improve­ment
include a game room witn
ping-pong and pool tables and
video games.
There is also talk of a Health
Festival which will set out to
make the campus community
more conscious of health mat­ters,
and will deal with problems
that particularly pertain to col­lege
students. These issues, many
of which will be explored in
presentation/discussions form will
focus on such topics as smoking,
sexual health, exercise and nutri­tion.
This campaign to upgrade the
college, to provide the students
with more edifying activities in
lieu of alcohol centered activities,
and to herd our student body
out of the bars and back onto
the campus, will demand a lot
of support from the student
body. Bill Herfel and Doug
Imig’s Carolinian abode makes
them more accessible for those
who either have ideas or would
like to help in planning or helping
out with student government
related events. They would ap­preciate
any feedback from the
student body, and hope that
anyone interested will feel free
to stop by anytime.
Pres. Search Continues . . .
by Mackay Rippey
The Presidential Search Com­mittee,
headed by Chairman Ham­mond
Welsh Jr., conducted the
final interviews of candidates for
president of the college last
weekend.
The number of candidates has
been narrowed to 15 from over
150 in early October. The group
of nominees presently includes
both men and women, creating
the possibility of a female presi­dent.
From the group of 15 three or
four will be asked to visit the
college in February. After the
visit one candidate will be nomi­nated
by the Search Committee
to the Board of Trustees. If the
Board approves the recommenda­tion
the nominee will be formally
invited to join the college as
president. It will then be the
candidate’s choice whether to
accept or decline. When the
position is accepted the new
president will officially take office
July 1, relieving Interim Presi­dent
Dr. Richard Weigle.

to the Search Committee, at

ASK THE

THEIR SPECIAL BREWS
ROUTE 5 NORTH
OF THE CAMPUS
DOWN-TOWN
PARK HALL
by Beth Appier
R.D.
It would be very easy to
surmise by the twinkle in Bill
Herfel and Doug Imig’s eyes,
that the two are somewhat of
an item, and that the front
apartment that they share in
Caroline Hall provides a little
nest egg for two people who
“just can’t keep away from
each other.” However, the nature
of their enviable relationship is
not our concern (although they
are undeniably the most love­able
twosome since Steve and
Edie). Instead, our concern lies
in what their roommate status
represents. It is symbolic of what
Doug describes as “a new direc­tion
for St. Mary’s which points
to a more integral relationship
between the student body, Resi­dence
Life, and the administra­tion
in general.”
Bill Herfel has assumed Curtis
Jackson’s position as Student
Programs Assistant, and is in­volved
in planning and super­vising
events proposed by the
SGA, such as coffeehouses and
dances. Doug Imig is the Senior
Resident Assistant and, curiously,
is neither a senior nor an R.A.
The incongruity between his title
and what he really is reflects
the fact that the role of Senior
R.A., as assistant to the Resi­dence
Director, is phasing out.
The job of Senior R.A. has pre­viously
involved mostly Residence
Life “red tape,” including hand­ling
such matters as room assign­ments
and maintenance requests.
These things have now been
turned almost entirely over to
the R.D.
The position, which is now
labeled “Senior R.A.,” soon will
be labeled “Campus Life Assis­tant,”
and will serve more as a
liaison between students and
the administration. Doug’s in­volvement
with the Dorm Council
last year made him a good candi­date
for S.R.A.: he is used to
playing the middle man between
the students and their govern­ment
in planning events.
Herfel and Imig’s residence in
the front apartment makes them
more accessible to the student
body, and ideally will help gener­ate
student interest, and will
foster a better circulation of
ideas. This campaign to stimulate
student interest is largely due
to the ever decreasing accessibility
of alcohol on campus. Because of
the drinking age laws, our liquor
license is limited to Charles
Hall, and it is questionable
whether or not it will be renewed
next semester. Because the laws
are steering student attention at
social events away from its main
focus, the keg of beer, Student
Programs is trying that much
harder to offer alternatives to
functions whose success and dura­tion
is measured solely on the
basis of how long the beer lasts,
or whether or not it is available
at all (in such cases students
opt not to attend at all, and
instead go to bars off-campus).
Bill and Doug are rather
optimistic that the SGA is be­coming
increasingly more inter­ested
in what is going on around
them. They feel, however, that
there is a problem with public
relations: the SGA needs student
support; it begs for feedback
from students concerning events,
and for suggestions regarding
further events, because it feels
that in the past the student body
did not see them as an accessible
organization. The SGA seeks
student involvement on the pre­mise
that if students have some
say in what is happening on
campus, then they will be more
likely to attend social functions,
and the student body will be
much more unified.
